VIDEO: Thibau Nys hits the deck before being given jump scare by fans at the Koppenbergcross

One of the most brutal crosses on the cyclocross calendar is taking place this Wednesday afternoon. With a public holiday in Belgium, the crowds have come out in force.

Young Belgian superstar Thibau Nys was powering his way through the mud with little difficulty but as he hit the deck and when trying to remount slipped once again, the last thing he would have needed having survived a scare was another surprise. Invoking the spirit of Halloween though, some fans hilariously popped up from behind the barriers to give Nys a jump scare.
